West Springfield High School student Jordan Trufio’s fight with cancer ended today. Fellow student Sean Ngo contributed these thoughts on his passing.

The following guest post is from Sean Ngo, a Camp Fantastic camper and a student at West Springfield High School:

Number 58 is Jordan, a man on the West Springfield High School football team who had those by his side through his treatment. As we all know, there is a bond that all cancer patients shares I hope you all will understand this about him.

To all my Camp Fantastic friends out there. Yesterday WSHS had a death of one of our fellow students, a senior who had a long and hard battle with a brain tumor. Sadly today, he passed away. All I know about him is that he was on the football team and his number was #58 and his name is Jordan Trufio. So if I can ask everyone here to send your prayers out today so he can have a safe journey wherever he may go now. Thank you for your time in reading this message I have made for him. Not many people understand those afflicted with cancer, but only those of us who have really been through it can understand it.

It is a nice gesture to feel the empathy and be sympathetic. But there are some people who talk about it like they knew everything he went through, sadly they do not. So I decided to share this with everyone here. Because just about everyone here would understand a lot more then other people out there would. So again thank you for taking the time in reading this. May your prayers be out to this fellow Spartan of mine.
